I've had to stop interviewees and if they've seen a question before - it's pretty obvious when they have. As an interviewer you then have to scrap that question and ask a new question on the fly. This is bad for the candidate because there is now less time and it might be a question the interviewer is less comfortable asking.

When this happens, don't switch questions, ask the candidate to teach the solution to you. e.g. Why is this the right solution? Why not another approach? What are the tradeoffs? Where does this solution fail?
